    Can I use a LCD monitor power cable on a CRT monitor? I cant find the power cable for this CRT monitor I have, But I have this power cable from an LCD monitor. Would it work if I put the LCD monitor power cable in the CRT monitor? Will it fry the CRT if I try?

    It should be all good - feel free to use the power cable :thumb:

    With just about any pc cable, if it fits, then it's in the correct hole.

    Pc's are less forgiving than girls - who usually will let you put it in the wrong hole, as long as you use some lube. You can't just put some lube on a dvi cable and plug it into a vga :grr:
